We round up the latest Manchester United transfers rumours from around the British and European press on Monday, August 21.

Real Madrid are reportedly determined to sign David de Gea next summer.

Spanish outlet Diario Gol claim current Real No 1 Keylor Navas has been told by club president Florentino Perez that he will be leaving in 2018.

That would then pave the way for a move for De Gea, who Real narrowly missed out on due to fax machine issues on Deadline Day in 2015.

Inter Milan head coach Luciano Spalletti seems confident that Manchester United target Ivan Perisic will be staying at the club.

Speaking over the weekend, Spalletti said: "Since the start, the club spoke with Ivan, as did I, he came and told us some things, because you need specific characteristics to stay here. We must all be ready to listen to how everyone else sees things.

Sergi Roberto says he is happy at Barcelona and is not looking to leave.

It has been reported this summer that Roberto could be surplus to requirements at Barca under new head coach Ernesto Valverde.

But speaking after he scored in Barca's 2-0 win over Real Betis on Sunday, Roberto said: "I'm happy. [Against Real Madrid in the Super Cup] I was happy on a personal level and I felt comfortable today, too. I played in my favoured midfield position.

"I started at the Bernabeu and the coach has given me confidence. I've scored today and I want to be important. In pre-season I wasn't starting, but now in the official matches I am playing more. I want to continue here and continue like this."
